An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Organoid Intelligence (OI) represents a groundbreaking convergence of biology and technology, aiming to redefine biocomputing using brain organoids—three-dimensional neural structures derived from ...

Liver disease is a major global health problem, causing over two million deaths worldwide each year. While animal models have ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

3D cell cultures are no longer a futuristic idea. They’re already reshaping how we study diseases like cancer, offering more realistic models of how cells behave in the body. But despite their ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...
